Mnuchin, Ivanka Trump, MacArthur Promise Simpler Tax Code

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Ivanka Trump, advisor to the President, made a stop in Bayville on Nov. 13 to promote the tax bills that are currently moving through the House and Senate.

They spoke of general goals of the Republican tax plan in a discussion that was about an hour long. Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) hosted the two at an invitation-only talk at the Bayville Volunteer Fire Company.

“We need a simpler, fairer system for our country,” he said. It needs to go from a “high-rate, high-loophole system to a low-rate, low-loophole system.”

He asked a rhetorical question to the

Officials: New County Website To Be More Efficient

By Chris Lundy HOWELL – Expressing a need for a streamlined website for residents to find services they need, the county clerk’s office has unveiled the new monmouthcountyclerk.com.

“We are very excited to provide a new website and to continue our commitment to increasing technology here at the clerk’s office,” said Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon. “The new website will be a valuable resource to help Monmouth County residents navigate our office’s numerous divisions and variety of services.”

The new website is designed to make it easier for residents to find the services (Website - See Page 5)

Why Did D.C. Come To Berkeley?

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Bayville Volunteer Fire Company hosted a tax discussion by Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-3rd), Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin, and Ivanka Trump on Nov. 13, but how did they get there?

The event was invite only, but who got the invites?

A spokeswoman with MacArthur’s office said that the White House chose the location and sent out the invites.

Local and elected officials were allotted a number, and they chose who was (Why - See Page 5)

Tax:

Continued From Page 1 audience, to see how many of them have lawyers working for them to find loopholes to get out of paying taxes.

MacArthur said that if a family makes less than $24,000, they won’t have to fill out a lot of forms, just one small card.

However, there is a lot of work still left to do.

The plans still have a lot of criticism, from both sides of the aisle.

He took this time to speak of his support on the House version of the bill, even though it is not everything he wanted.

“If I waited to vote ‘yes’ for a perfect bill, I’d never vote,” he said.

Mnuchin said he expected both the House and Senate versions to pass. After that, the lawmakers need to hammer out the strengths and weaknesses of both bills to get a consensus.

“The code has become so complex,” Ivanka Trump said. “Simplifications ultimately democratizes the tax code.”

How Families Will Be Affected Ivanka Trump touted the plan as one that helps

middle class families, such as a move to increase the income that one can claim while still receiving a child credit.

Of note is the expansion of child tax credits and credits for non-child dependents, such as elderly family members living with you, she said.

The last time the tax code had a significant overhaul was 31 years ago, she said. Today, there are more people in two-income households, out of necessity.

“The world is very different today, and we need a tax code that reflects that,” she said. “The credits that remain intact are the credits that help families.”

“I’m in a position that is far more fortunate than most,” Trump said. Child care is the single largest expense for half the country, geographically. “It’s not sustainable. Having more money in their pocket, parents will know how to spend it.”

The middle class would see a cut, Mnuchin said.

However, those earning more than $1 million would see an increase.

“We ran hundreds of examples” of people of differing income levels, “to make sure people get real tax cuts,” he said.

How Businesses Will Be Affected

Mnuchin said this administration’s goal is creating growth and bringing jobs back to America. There are too many loopholes that allow corporations to keep their income offshore. The tax code would incentivize bringing this money back home.

The plan is that providing cuts to businesses, from small businesses to corporations, would work its way down to the owners growing their companies and reinvesting in them, he said. This would increase the gross domestic product and absorb the extra debt that’s in the bill.

Critics of the tax plan have noted $1.5 trillion in extra debt that the current plans would create.

MacArthur chose to ask one question from “Maryann in North Beach,” asking how the plan would affect a mom and pop shop.

Mnuchin said most small stores like that are called “pass-throughs” and there will be “the lowest rate on pass-throughs since the 1930s.”

Small businesses would be able to write off 100 percent of expenses.

“They do a lot better job with that money than the federal government,” he said. Several in the audience agreed out loud with him.

“When you think the future is bright, you hire more people,” MacArthur added.

Local Politicians Sound Off Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato opened the event, welcoming the crowd and introducing the first speaker, Gov. Chris Christie.

“America can’t be a strong leader around the world without a strong economy at home,” Christie said.

After the event, Lacey Mayor Peter Curatolo, a Republican, said he supports the tax plan.

“When you incentivize business, and increase deductions, businesses will grow, people will keep more of what they earn and they will reinvest into their homes, local economies and family future,” he said.

“I think any time a member of the First Family, along with the United States Secretary of the Treasury, and our Congressman come to the local level and address residents from Lacey Township and the surrounding area, then that is emblematic that they care about us and they want to tell us about the work that they are doing and how their decisions and input with this tax plan in particular will benefit all of us moving forward,” he said.

Before the event started, Councilman James Byrnes, a Republican, hoped his questions would be answered but they were not. He said his ward will be hit hard from the proposed tax plan.

There are a lot of people who have their second homes in the waterfront sections of his town, and they would see increases. “It will kill the boating industry, too.”

He said he was surprised that the tax plan carried with it an increase of $1.5 trillion in debt.

“There’s a huge debt we will never pay off,” he said.

Protesters At The Gate The event was by invitation only. Therefore, a majority of the audience was made up of Republican politicians, or their friends and families.

MacArthur, who has stood before angry crowds at town halls he’s held, had a different crowd here.

He only read one question from an attendee.

One man tried to gain entrance, and when he was not on the list, yelled out “I want to be represented here! It’s not fair!”

Before being asked to leave, he yelled into the room “Are there any Democrats here? Raise your hand if you’re a Democrat.”

No one answered, but there was at least one.

Marianne Clemente, the head of the Barnegat Democrats, had managed to secure a seat inside.

At the end of the presentation, she spoke aloud that she wanted to ask a question. No questions were allowed from the public, and so she shouted out that the tax plan doesn’t help everyone.

A few dozen protesters were outside in the soggy weather holding signs. They were mostly from the New Jersey Organizing Project, an advocacy group that started after Superstorm Sandy to address issues there but have since branched out to other missions. They held signs asking MacArthur to vote against the tax bill.

“More than 1 in 4 New Jersey residents would face a tax hike while the wealthiest catch the biggest break once the plan is fully implemented,” their literature stated.

Among the issues is SALT: the House’s plan to eliminate the ability to deduct state and local income taxes and sales taxes. (The all-Republican Ocean County Freeholders have also said they don’t want this eliminated.)

Another issue is that the House version of the bill eliminates the deduction for people who spend more than 10 percent of their income on (Tax - See Page 5)

“This year’s display seems even more important than previous years. We have seen an increase in violence and hate around the world during the past year,” Cook said. “Regardless of the cause, it is distressing and saddening. We hope that our display gives people some comfort and helps spread joy during the holiday season.”

The show runs nightly starting Nov. 25 through Jan. 1. From Sunday through Thursday 6-10 p.m. and Friday through Saturday 6-11 p.m.

MacArthur referred to towns like Berkeley as “the heart and soul of this great state.”

At one point, when discussing how many senior citizens are in his district, he said the crowd was “a pretty good picture of what our district is all about.”

Gov. Chris Christie also said that this was the “heart of New Jersey...where people come to work and raise families.”

A PAINFUL SIDE EFFECT

Diuretic medications that are sometimes prescribed to control blood pressure can increase the risk of developing gout in some individuals. Gout is a type of arthritis that is caused by crystals of uric acid that are deposited in a joint, most commonly a joint of the big toe. Since diuretics are meant to remove excess fluids from the body, fluids that remain are more concentrated and more likely to form crystals. When crystals are deposited in a joint, they can cause excruciating pain that occurs without warning. An affected joint may become red, swollen, and warm to the touch. A podiatrist can evaluate these symptoms and prescribe medications that can lessen pain and protect the joint from loss of mobility.

When your feet are suffering from gout, heel pain, bunions, fungal infections, toenail conditions, or hereditary problems, the first step to better foot health is a good podiatrist. We ask a lot of our feet, but painful feet are not normal. You don’t need to suffer…we can help at FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER. Conveniently located at 4527 US Highway 9, we see patients of all ages for all kinds of foot concerns. We have office hours by appointment—call (732) 370-1100.

HINT: One way of confirming a diagnosis of gout is to aspirate a small amount of fluid from the joint and have it examined for crystals.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Tax Discussion Wasn’t Discussed With Public There was a tax discussion held in Berkeley Township on Nov. 13, between Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-3rd), Secretary of the Treasury St eve M nuch i n , a nd Ivanka Trump.

The event was a great oppor tunity for local residents to hear more about the thought processes behind the GOP’s tax plan. However, they really didn’t hear our thought processes.

As guests filed into the building, they were asked to fill out a card if they had any questions. However, only one question from the public was asked, about how the tax plan would affect small businesses.

This is a great question, but there were probably a lot more great ques-

t ion s t hat d id n’t get asked.

T h is was a mostly Republican crowd. It w a s n’t l i ke M a cA rthur’s town hall a few months ago where the public ripped into him. In Berkeley, there were local mayors and elected officials in the f ront rows, and they had questions, too. And t he que st ion s wou ld have been asked in a respectable way. The crowd, who had arrived as early as 8:30 a.m. for a 10:30 a.m. hour-long event, did not have a chance to really express themselves. They really deserved to have had their voices heard.

The discussion should have gone two ways.

Otherwise, it’s a lecture.

Letters To The Editor Support Needed For The Capital To The Coast Trail

Fifteen years ago an idea was born to create a multipurpose trail that would traverse the state from the beautiful beachfront of Manasquan to Trenton, our state capital. The first section of the proposed trail would go through Manasquan, Wall Township, Howell Township, Jackson Township, Freehold Township, Millstone, Roosevelt and Upper Freehold. This concept was presented to the mayors of the communities, the Monmouth County Freeholders, planning board members, town administrators and other interested parties. After much discussion, the 46 members at the original meeting all agreed that this concept was worth investigation.

The goal established at this meeting was to create a recreational greenway to link our towns to existing open spaces and parkland in partnership with State, County and local governments, conservation and community groups. The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Monmouth County Parks Commission, the Monmouth County Planning Board and the communities the trail would go through passed resolutions in support of the trail.

The trail starts on the beautiful Manasquan oceanfront beach and moves on to Wall Township by Orchard Park, with a bypass to the Municipal Complex and

sports complex at Wall.

The bike, walk, or jog through to have higher medical bills Letters To The Editor trail continues on through Allenwood, by the State owned Spring Meadow Golf Course, into Allaire State Park, which is one of the most beautiful historic state parks with historic Allaire Village. The trail continues on to Howell Township passing the athletic complex in Howell through heavily forested lands leading to the Manasquan Reservoir. The Reservoir contains woods and wetlands, a five-mile multipurpose trail around the Reservoir, fishing and boating areas, a visitor’s center and an Environmental Center. This multiple purpose trail, which is part of the Capital to the Coast Trail, accommodates thousands of bikers, joggers, walkers and equestrians every year.

The trail then moves on to Freehold Township where it passes through Turkey Swamp Park, a County park.

Here you will find boating activities and the Turkey Swamp Park Family Campground. From there the trail heads to Millstone where one will pass through beautiful farmlands. A future spur is in the planning stages to the Monmouth Battlegrounds Park. The trail then moves on to Perrineville Lake Park where one can enjoy the beautiful lake and countryside. From Perrineville Lake Park the trail moves on to the historic town of Roosevelt where you may visit the Roosevelt’s Little White House, a State Historic site built in 1932.

untouched wilderness. From there you will bike on to the Assunpink State Wildlife Management Area.

This trail will then go into Mercer County and on to Trenton, our State Capital.

This trail, when completed, will be the second longest multiple purpose trail in the state of New Jersey. The trail will go through seven Monmouth County municipalities, many community parks, three county parks, one state park and two state wildlife management areas.

The planned route will have approximately 85 percent off-road trails in Monmouth County. Since the conception of the trail, seven communities in Monmouth and Mercer Counties have received over $3.5 million for the construction of this trail.

During the fifteen years since the concept of a multipurpose trail was born, we have gone through normal procedures to obtain financial support for the trail either through direct financial support or to receive funding through grants for construction of the trail.

H o w e v e r, w e w e r e n o t successful. Therefore, we are asking the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders for financial support and to apply for state and federal grants to complete the trail.

When the trail is completed, it will be the most beautiful multipurpose trail in New Jersey. It will be a quality-of-life amenity that is meaningful for all ages.

It will provide intrinsic environmental, aesthetic and recreational benefits to our citizens and to our cities and towns for many generations to come.

Why Do I Vote Republican?

I am wondering why I vote for Republicans for Congress.

I have been retired for 30 years and I do itemize my deductions on my 1040. Now I and all seniors that itemize stand to lose the state, local and now medical deductions.

We seniors are more likely

even after coverage of some

by Medicare.

Now this is the main reason for my tirade. Why doesn’t congress reduce the increased taxation on our Social Security benefits? Former Democrat Senator Bradley’s vote increased that tax from 35 percent to 85 percent and after his term was over he left New Jersey, because even he could not afford the taxes to live here?

Did you seniors forget that little item?

I contacted Congressman MacArthur and his office listened to my lament, but on the other hand Congressman Chris Smith, also Republican, did not want to listen because I was not in his legislative district.

So much for taxation with representation!

Bill McPhail Toms River

A Letter For Congressman MacArthur I am contacting you because you have been an enabler of the horrendous gun killing that is going on in our country.

You are a definite friend of the NRA and hence have voted to allow assault weapons to be sold to the public as well as repealing Obama’s law of background checks for mentally ill people to purchase guns. Because of this, so many innocent people have died. You have their blood on your hands, so I know the NRA is certainly more important to you than the lives of these innocents.

About this new “tax cut.”

You are among the rich that this tax plan greatly benefits.

As for us, the middle class, we do not benefit. It is like giving us a dollar discount while the rich get a one million dollar tax break. Also, I thought you Republicans were “fiscally conservative.” Where is the money going to come from to enable this “tax cut” to go through? I greatly fear that it will be funded by future cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

I, for one, and many others will remember where you stand and will vote accordingly in the future.

Soccer Star Joins ShopRite To Make Holiday Meal Donation To Fulfill

By Jennifer Peacock MONMOUTH COUNTY – The goal was to assist families in need. A local athlete made that happen Nov. 9.

Ocean County native and soccer star Christie Pearce Rampone, with her daughters Reece and Rylie, helped deliver 2,000 turkeys and 2,000 pounds of fresh produce from ShopRite to Fulfill, formerly the Food Bank of –Photo courtesy Ful�ill Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

“I’m really excited to be here today to help ShopRite provide good, nutritious food to our neighbors in need, and I’m thankful for partners like Fulfill food bank and the great work they do to help feed people and fight food insecurity in Ocean and Monmouth counties,” Pearce Rampone said.

ShopRite makes donations to local food banks each year, having delivered 60 tons of turkeys to food banks in six states where the store operates.

Peace Rampone’s delivery was the last stop on the delivery route for donations.

“Fighting hunger in the community is at the heart

of ShopRite’s charitable giving, and ShopRite’s annual donation of 60 tons of turkeys to food banks means that thousands of families in need will have the opportunity to sit down to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner,” Christine Magyarits, ShopRite’s Community Relations Manager, said.

Rampone, a four-time Olympian and gold medalist, served as captain of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team, the longest serving from 2008-2015. She is the only member to be part of two Women’s World Cup Championship teams in 1999 and 2015. She’s also a four-time Olympian and gold medalist.

A Brief Introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) By: Olivia Santamaria, DPT, Whiting Location Physical Therapist

WHAT IS SOFT TISSUE? The term “Soft tissue” refers to the fascia (connective tissue), muscles, tendons, and ligaments that make up the body. Injuries to these areas are a common cause of pain and dysfunction that causes patients to seek the assistance of a physical or occupational therapist. There are a variety of techniques used to treat these conditions, including exercise, modalities, and manual therapies.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is one of the manual techniques a physical or occupational therapist can use to treat these injuries.

WHAT INJURIES ARE MOST COMMONLY TREATED WITH IASTM? The different shapes and edges of the tools allow the clinician to use them around all of the different contours of the body, which make them useful for most conditions seen in the clinic. These tools can be used to break down scar tissue after surgery, decrease pain caused

WHAT IS IASTM, AND WHY IS IT USED? When soft tissue injuries occur, the natural processes of the body lay down new cells to heal the injury. These cells are often laid down in a disorganized pattern and they can bind to the underlying tissues, ultimately restricting the mobility of these structures. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization involves the use of tools to mobilize the soft tissue structures of the body. These tools come in many shapes and sizes, and are made of a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, plastic, jade, (Reinold & Religioso) and ceramic. While the tools may differ in shape and material, they share the common purpose of assisting the clinician with mobilizing the injured soft tissue in order to reduce adhesions (scar tissue), increase blood flow to the injured area, and encourage healing of the damaged tissue.

redness, heat sensation, and sometimes bruising are normal immediately following treatment, and there may be some soreness or discomfort. It is important to not be alarmed by these (Portland physical therapy) symptoms, and recognize that these are temporary symptoms being closely monitored by your therapist. After several treatments, there should be a noticeable change in mobility and function. IASTM, combined with your exercise program, can help you return to your normal daily activities and hobbies.

by sprains and strains to ligaments and muscles, reduce swelling/edema, and alleviate nerve restrictions. Common conditions that warrant use of IASTM treatment are joint replacements, Rotator cuff tears and surgical repairs, plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, and tendonitis.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? Your physical or occupational therapist will evaluate you at your initial visit to determine if your condition warrants the use of IASTM. This will not be the primary treatment, but rather one technique your therapist uses to assist in your recovery. The technique itself involves the clinician using the tool in a scraping motion along the surface of the skin. In order to “re-start” the healing process, your therapist is causing a micro-trauma to the injured area to encourage the body to heal itself. Therefore, temporary

She continued her education at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Newark, where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015. While in graduate school, Olivia and her fellow colleagues conducted a study entitled “For individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries, do off-the- shelf video games, compared to standard of care, improve balance, function, and patient satisfaction?”

The abstract was accepted and Olivia presented the poster at the National Combined Section Meeting in 2015.

FREEHOLD – Anyone looking to turn over a new leaf in the New Year may want to consider becoming a certified Master Gardener in 2018.

The Monmouth County Master Gardener Program is the way to become a certified expert in all things related to home gardening. The deadline to apply is Jan. 2.

“As a Master Gardener trainee you can get in-depth, hands-on training in horticulture

Master Gardener Applicants Sought from the best in the field – Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service professional staff and their associates at Brookdale Community College and the County Park System,” Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry said. “The program includes plant biology, propagation, soil science and pest control.”

After completing classroom and hands-on training, a Master Gardener graduate can share

knowledge by conducting garden lectures, demonstrations, school and community gardening projects, telephone diagnostic service for callers and research.

To enroll in this Master Gardener program, applicants must live in Monmouth County, be available to attend 10 weeks of classes and make a commitment to providing gardening information and services to the community.

Classroom sessions will be held from February through May on Tuesday and Thursday mornings beginning Feb. 22. At the conclusion of the classes, all Master Gardener trainees give 60 hours of volunteer time in horticultural projects and answering calls on the County’s “horticulture helpline.” Those who complete the training become certified Master Gardeners.

The application can be downloaded from the County’s website at visitmonmouth.com.

Be sure to click on the Department link to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service.

A copy can also picked up at the Cooperative Extension Service office at 4000 Kozloski Road in Freehold, or call 732-431-7260 to request an application be mailed. There is a $250 fee to cover material and program costs.

The Master Gardener Program, conducted throughout the United States and Canada, is a two-part educational effort in which avid gardeners are provided many hours of intense home horticulture training. In return, they “pay-back” local university extension agents through volunteerism.

In Monmouth County, the program is sponsored by Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service in cooperation with the Monmouth County Chosen Board of Chosen Freeholders and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

BBBSMMC Announces The Return Of #GivingTuesday ASBURY PARK – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties is excited to announce that they will once again be participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Occurring this year on Nov. 28, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday was created as a way to kick off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate to improve their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support. #GivingTuesday demonstrates how every act of generosity counts, and that they mean even more when we give together.

“Big Brothers Big Sisters is funded through community support and we depend on ini-

tiatives such as #GivingTuesday to help us raise funds to create more mentoring relationships,” said Executive Director William Salcedo.

This year’s campaign focuses around one of BBBSMMC’s long-lasting matches. Matt and Antonio were matched in 2000 when Antonio was just 7 years old. Antonio never knew his father, so his mom turned to BBBS to find a male mentor for her son. Over the last 17 years their bond has grown into a forever friendship and together they have gone on many adventures; attending soccer games, going to museums and movies and even working on projects together. Matt was there to watch Antonio’s band and choir performances and recently cheered him on as he graduated from SUNY Maritime, which was one of Antonio’s top choice of colleges.

BBBSMMC wants to make more matches like these possible with the proceeds from #GivingTuesday.

Following the rousing success of last year’s holiday performance, the chorus will perform an expanded edition of Artistic Director Dr. Ryan James Brandau’s Christmas Suite.

Concert-goers will enjoy an array of holiday favorites including O Holy Night, Auld Lang Syne, Silent Night, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Deck the Hall, all artistically arranged for chorus and orchestra by Brandau.

Intertwined throughout the Suite will be classical stalwarts from Handel’s beloved Messiah.

In addition to his work with Monmouth Civic Chorus, he serves as Artistic Director of Princ-

eton Pro Musica and Amor Artis, a chamber choir and orchestra in New York City. He is also on the faculty of Westminster Choir College, where he works with the Symphonic Choir, which he has prepared for performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, and the New Jersey Symphony. He remains active as a choral arranger, composer, and clinician whose arrangements and compositions have been featured by choral ensembles across the globe.

Ryan received the Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music degrees from the Yale School of Music. Prior to pursuing graduate study in conducting, Ryan attended the University of Cambridge in the UK as a Gates Scholar, earning an M.Phil. in historical musicology.

He received his B.A. in music, magna cum laude, from Princeton University.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Seven Life-Saving Reasons You Should Eat Cauliflower

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I was eating dinner with Sam and having home-made chicken soup with a slice of Sourdough bread and melted butter. It was simple and delicious. We ate silently.

Towards the end of the meal, he says to me, “We always eat our soup and bread silently because we are mentally calculating how to time the last bite so it’s perfect.”

LOL! So true. We usually chatter during meals, and tell funny stories, but when soup and bread hit the table, it all goes to silence. I like to time my last bite so it’s soup (to wash down the bread).

Regardless, about this home-made chicken soup…that’s what I really want to talk about. Tonight we made it differently with peas instead of celery (because you need something green) and with red onions instead of white ones. We used shredded cauliflower instead of rice, that was the biggest and most pleasant surprise because I didn’t think it would actually work.

You can buy shredded cauliflower now in bags, in the produce department of your grocery store. Someone should have bagged this stuff decades ago!

Anyway, the cauliflower holds up remarkably well, even days later. It’s acts just like rice except with cauliflower you get the most incredible health benefits. It’s a crucifer, like it’s green cousins broccoli and Brussels sprouts, so it has the same cancer-fighting properties. I want you to start cooking with cauliflower, here’s why: Cauliflower contains sulforaphanes, that’s the compound that gives it a funky sulfur smell. This compound has been isolated and studied. It clearly demonstrates

cancer-fi ghting promise, especially for breast, prostate and other reproductive cancers. This has been shown repeatedly, in both animal models and test tube studies.

Cauliflower contains antioxidants which neutralize free radicals. There are many, but among the more recognizable, we find quercetin, vitamin K, vitamin C, beta-carotene and kaempferol. That last one is incredible, it’s rarely talked about but kaempferol has evidence behind it to show that it can block VEGF production in your body and “suppress ovarian cancer cell metastasis in vitro” according to one research study. Another article suggests kaempferol could interact with estrogen receptors on the cell and slow growth of cancer!

Cauliflower protects your bones because it is a rich, natural source of vitamin K and C, as well as minerals like potassium, manganese and phosphorus.

Cauliflower gives you a low-carb alternative to digestible fiber so it will help you achieve regular bowel movements, while eliminating toxins stuck in the deep crevices of your gut. In fact, sulforaphanes and glucosinolates found in cauliflower fight Helicobacter pylori, and that fact alone should reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Cauliflower contains I3C (Indole 3 Carbinol) which helps metabolize estrogen into anti-cancer by-products and that’s good for both men and women. I3C has been studied for its role in cholesterol and triglyceride synthesis. If you’d like to get some of my recipes using cauliflower, sign up for my newsletter and I’ll email them to you.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Answer I see your problem exactly the other way around. By doing nothing you are getting him into trouble. He is a danger to every person on the road (and off the road). Lives are taken and others ruined by drunk drivers. If I were you I would demand that he give you his car keys and driver’s license. That is just the beginning. At that point I would contact an attorney who deals specifically with alcoholism and drug addiction.

If he refuses to go, which may very well be the case, I suggest that you go without him. In the meanwhile get him a driver, drive him yourself or keep him home. I would suggest a bicycle but he is a danger on the road even then if drunk.

Do not let this man drive sober as at this point he is likely to return to his old ways. This entire country is counting on you...Writing to me is a great start but you have a lot of hard work ahead of you.

Let me know how it progresses. I wish you well.

Inside The Law Protect Yourself And Your Family By Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem Esq. Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

CheChe’s BOUT IQUE

GRAND OPENING

SALE!

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured.

To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey.

As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle.

UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a red light minding your

business when all of the Michael J. Deem Esq. sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled.

Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility.

Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of november 25 - december 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Watch your step in the upcoming week. You may be tempted to push back if you feel your freedoms have been infringed upon. Avoid making major decisions or purchases as you may be misled by false information.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Kind and sympathetic people may help you reach long term goals, but might not be good advisors for finances. The second half of the week ahead will be better than the first half for decision making and major purchases.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the upcoming week handle extra tasks and responsibilities with good grace. With a holiday on the calendar you might be treated like a “go-fer” or end up at someone’s beck and call. Make the best of it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As this week unfolds you may realize that family connections make up the fabric of your life. Despite some irritations you may be made aware that loved ones help you weave all the little details of life into a viable whole.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Patience will prop you up. Take your time about starting something new. Put your powerful business ideas and financial plans on the back burner until mid-week. You are too focused on work to enjoy a social outing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hit refresh. The familiar way of doing things may need a revision so that you can continue to thrive and grow in the future. In the week to come your energy levels may ebb and flow, so you must not take on new duties.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you push too hard for too long something might break down.

There may be a tendency to put your own wants and needs ahead of those of others. Relax, be considerate and recharge your energies in the week ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remain attentive. Duck and get out of the way if a ladder is falling and threatens to hit you in the head. However, as the week unfolds, find ways to integrate your belief system into creative or financially stabilizing activities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When the outcome of a game is certain, everyone wants to call it quits. Dissatisfaction with your routines might disrupt the week ahead. You could be tempted to stir up excitement with someone who is true blue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fortify your boundaries but keep a door propped open. Family dinners and restful hours sure to be on your schedule in the week ahead but you may be restless unless you have something physical to do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dig in and do it right the first time. Small details that have previously escaped your notice can come to your attention as this week unfolds. Don’t make impulsive purchases but do focus on things of long term value.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Find opportunities for quiet introspection in the week ahead. Your nerves might be on edge and you may react badly if someone pushes your buttons. Some time on your own might help you retain your equilibrium.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Transform A Popular Autumn Veggie Into An Elegant First Course For Thanksgiving

By Wolfgang Puck

Cauliflower is the new Brussels sprout.

Or maybe it’s the new kale. Whatever the latest vegetable trends may be where you happen to live, it’s a fairly safe bet that you’re beginning to see more of this ivory-hued member of the Brassica family - which also includes cabbages and broccoli - among the first-course and side-dish offerings on top restaurant menus.

With its pale color and relatively mild flavor that combines pleasing hints of nuttiness, sweetness and bitterness, cauliflower really is a sort of blank canvas that invites creativity. I’ve seen it separated into florets and either caramelized or battered and deep-fried; roasted whole or sliced into steaks and grilled; separated into florets that were tossed with cheese sauce for a cauliflower gratin, or riced and pan-fried to make cauliflower hash browns; or pureed for a light and delicate alternative to mashed potatoes.

So, as you make your menu plans for Thanksgiving, I hope you’ll find a way to include cauliflower on your family table.

To help inspire you, I’d like to share one of my favorite recipes for creamy cauliflower soup as a first course option.

Keeping cauliflower’s gentle flavor in mind, I begin making the soup with a classic aromatic base of yellow onion and garlic, which I saute for several minutes to reduce their harshness when raw and develop their natural sweetness. I then add the sliced-up raw cauliflower and patiently cook it over very low heat, covered; it’s an hour-long process that enhances the vegetable’s flavor and turns it absolutely tender.

Then, into the pot goes chicken stock (you can substitute vegetable stock if you want a vegetarian version) along with a little heavy cream (substitute your favorite unsweetened nut milk for a vegan version), chopped tomato, a little cumin, a hint of sugar and some fresh herbs, all of which help develop an extra subtle dimension of flavor as the ingredients simmer together.

Though the entire cooking process will take you about an hour and a half from start to fi nish, much of that is devoted to sauteing and simmering that call for minimal involvement by you, so you’ll be free to work on other elements of the meal.

Or you could even make the soup a day ahead, let it cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate it in a covered container overnight. Before serving time, gently reheat the soup, thinning it if necessary with a little extra stock.

I hope this recipe solves another key

piece of your Thanksgiving menu puzzle.

Maybe your guests will even remark on how innovative and exciting your fi rstcourse is!

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP Makes about 3 quarts (3 l), 8 to 12 servings 2 large heads cauliflower, about 5 pounds (2.5 kg) total weight, trimmed and rinsed 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 1 large yellow onion, peeled, trimmed, and sliced 3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped Kosher salt 1 medium tomato, brief ly dipped in boiling water to loosen the peel, cooled in ice water, and then peeled, seeded, and diced 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin Pinch of sugar Freshly ground white pepper 1 bay leaf 2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme 2 quarts (2 L) good-quality canned chicken stock or vegetable stock 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream Chopped fresh chives, for garnish With a sharp knife, cut the heads of cauliflower into thin slices. Set aside.

Put the butter and olive oil in a medium stockpot over low heat. When the butter has melted, add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Lightly season with salt, and cover the pot.

Continue cooking covered, stirring often, until the cauliflower is completely tender, almost mushy, about 1 hour. Stir in the tomato, cumin, sugar, white pepper to taste, bay leaf, thyme and stock. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir in the cream. When the soup returns to a boil, remove the pot from the heat. Remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.

Puree the soup directly in the pot using an immersion blender. Or, working in batches and carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions to guard against spattering the hot liquid, puree the soup by pulsing the machine on and off; transfer each batch to a large heatproof bowl.

While the soup is still hot, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Before serving, reheat the soup over low heat. Ladle it into warmed bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle some chives over each serving. Serve immediately.
